2008-2024
It seems likely that Apple has killed off its external USB CD/DVD reader/burner as stock dwindles in-store & online.
Old Man in the Shoe@BasicAppleGuy Would fit under my Mac Mini perfectly... Now I kind of want one.
@jenzi itβs a little smaller than a Mac mini, but you could tuck it under.
Marcus Kida@marcus the law mandates you throw it away by midnight.

πππ£π€@BasicAppleGuy I still occasionally use my old USB Superdrive, acquired when Apple stopped shipping Macbooks with them built-in.
That was⦠almost ten years ago!?
Son of a Sailor@BasicAppleGuy I wish I'd bought one, but years ago I removed the optical drive from my old PowerBook G4 and put it in a slim enclosure from OWC. I plugged it into my M1 MacBook Pro yesterday and it still works. π
Also, it makes me happy that I can still pop an audio CD into my Mac and have it play in Apple Music. π

Rob Howard@BasicAppleGuy I still have mine. I do, from time to time, need to rip CDs with it.
Although weβre just noticing stocks dwindling, I reckon Apple hasnβt manufactured one of these for quite some time!
